Download or read book Risk Management and Corporate Sustainability in Aviation written by Triant G. Flouris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability factors should be considered by managers like any other business risk issue; these factors are expected to have a substantial impact on corporate management. Air transport corporations need a strong sustainability management framework to effectively manage economic, environmental and social risks to achieve their corporate sustainability objectives, and to meet their stakeholders' demands. This book offers a new Enterprise Sustainability Risk Management (ESRM) model to fulfill these requirements. In the model presented, the triple bottom line (TBL) agenda is incorporated into the companies' sustainability management. ESRM deals with the environmental, social, and ecological risks as well as the strategic, economic, operational, and threat risks of companies. The best corporate sustainability strategies and management approaches require the consideration of all corporate risks in both a holistic and systematic way. Flouris and Kucuk Yilmaz present an effective way to manage sustainability risks via a new, well-designed, integrated, dynamic and flexible framework. It introduces an opportunity for turning risks into potential corporate advantages. Risk Management and Corporate Sustainability in Aviation is addressed to professionals, students and researchers within air transportation business management and risk management.

Download or read book Airport Sustainability Practices written by C. Daniel Prather and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several years airport operators have introduced green initiatives in order to improve the overall sustainability of their airports. Drivers could include financial viability, staffing considerations, or other social or environmental factors. There is a significant compilation of sustainability practices from larger airports, but a less robust description of initiatives for smaller airports. This report focuses on drivers and outcomes of green initiatives undertaken at small commercial and general aviation airports. Information used in this study was acquired through a review of the literature and survey or interviews with airport operators at small and general aviation airports. Although the study found that more than half of small airports have adopted one or more sustainable initiatives and almost 20% have a formal sustainability plan in place, many of those participating in the study do not believe that their airport has an impact on the environment, and because of lack of funding and different priorities, they choose not to pursue sustainable initiatives. However, sustainability is more than environmental initiatives. These are barriers, but more airports will pursue sustainable initiatives if more funding is made available, sustainability incentives are created, or sustainability becomes a mandate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis involves an empirical case study carried out at four commercial service airports in Northern Ohio to explore emerging trends in sustainability practices. Although the growth of aviation related activities brings about significant expansion of aviation infrastructure, -which consequently create extensive benefits that include employment, business, trade, tourism and community prosperity and pride-, unfortunately there are associated adverse side effects. Some airport operations have been linked to waste products and water, noise and land pollution. These have prompted health and environmental concerns, thus bringing the idea of airport sustainability to the forefront. This empirical case study employed a survey questionnaire to explore how four commercial service airports in Northern Ohio responded to five areas addressing sustainability. Data analysis revealed that, policies and practices followed by these airports are largely driven by local, state and regional environmental regulations. The scale of the airport operations seem to be the determining factor on the extent and focus of the sustainability area, thus airports with more operations are under more strict rules and face extra sustainability challenges. Great responsibility rests on management to develop the appropriate strategies, maintain and safely operate the airport asset by aligning sustainability initiatives with the airport's goals for better operational efficiency and improved customer relations. These findings are significant since the future development of commercial service airports, rests squarely on the success of sustainability initiatives and their effect on the natural environments, the economic and social well-being of local communities.

Download or read book Management of the Environmental Impact at Airport Operations written by H. G. Visser and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's airports are at times unable to handle the air traffic demand. The busiest airports are already saturated, and there are political and environmental difficulties associated with any further airport expansion. In view of the anticipated growth in air traffic demand, there is a clear need for economically beneficial capacity improvements in an environmentally responsible manner. However, the required capacity growth cannot be achieved by relying on existing technologies, policies and procedures. To provide solutions for environmentally induced capacity bottlenecks, the authors' research is aimed at the development of a new integrated concept for managing the environmental impact of flight operations into and out of airports. The set of fully integrated noise management tools that the authors envision includes interrelated tools at the strategic level (annual/seasonal noise allocation planning), the tactical-/operational level (sequencing and scheduling of flights and separation assurance) and the trajectory level (selection of noise-optimised routes and flight profiles). The proposed integrated environmental management tool provides decision support to air traffic controllers to enable traffic management on the basis of throughput efficiency and safety in concert with noise exposure and emission considerations. The objective of this book is to outline the envisaged integrated environmental management concept, and to summarise our research efforts related to the main enabling capabilities (tools) that underlie this concept.
